Sounds like the difference is that it doesn't allow more than three applications to be started, whereas regular XP allows you to run more than three and then promptly crashes.
It doesn't bother me in the least. This interview is hysterical. If I had two days to fisk this sorry waste of carbon, I couldn't do it justice. I love the irony of an "anarchist" with a public defender, though. Begging for help, no less.
I'm probably picking nits here, but doesn't it sound odd to speak of a "supernova factory"? It makes as much sense as a moldy bread factory or a worn tire factory. A supernova is the death of a star after a long life, it makes no sense to suggest that this cluster is stamping 'em out. Better to say that at one time this was a star factory, producing shiny new stars which are/were dying at relatively the same time.
And while we're on the topic of completing a circuit, how is this jacket going to help if the assailant makes skin contact, to cover the womans mouth, for example? Isn't she going to get a dose of it as well?
I had the same response to Idoru. Ditto Neuromancer and The Difference Engine. He has interesting ideas, boring prose. And everything seems to fall apart near the end.
I agree that Stephenson needs and editor and a whole team of proofreaders, but I thought the breakfast cereal scene was hilarious. Along with the Eschaton chapter in Infinite Jest, it's one of my favorite comedy pieces in literature.
Daisy Cutters do. Bunker Busters don't. IIRC, they rely on a dense core and a delayed detonation in order to penetrate the surface and explode. Other than that, they are regular ordinance.
They want us out of Islamic land, and they want to have their pan-Islamic caliphate. That much is true. But here's the thing: They want the caliphate to be pan-global. All land is to be under sharia. Listen to what they say, and understand that it is not rhetoric.
Look at the response in Baghdad: Thank you, thank you, now get out immediately. Why? Because no ground under the banner of Islam must be lost. Look at how the Arabs use the "palestinians" to try to destroy Israel. Because it is land that is considered to be taken, not from the pallys, but from Islam. The Bali bombings were a result of East Timor being freed from the tyranny of Islam.
Watch France. Watch Denmark. The pattern has played out across many states across Africa, and is now growing in Europe. Develop a large community, breed out the indigenous peoples, and call for a separatist state.
Don't think that the muslims will be content with the status quo. And it's not just al Qaeda. It's *all* of them.
Actually, the terrorists goals are that we either 1) convert to Islam, or 2) die. Few thinks smell worse than the stench of stale rhetoric, Mr. Kucinich.

"Oh we got both kinds. We got Socialism and Communism!"
Now I can download this song and make copies and trade it and play it on whatever device I want, in the format of my choosing.
Too bad I've been sick of this song since kindergarten.
Let the Distro Jihads begin. You think your LUG has flamewars? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Slack Ackbar!
I quit a LUG once, too. I didn't see Slashdot scrambling to cover that. Slow news day?
Yeah, good idea. Instead of one individual country's success, we could have a spectacular failure that the whole world could share.
Come to think of it, you've pretty much described the International Socialism mission statement.
And IIRC, the Russians called dibs on Venus.
...otherwise, think of all the money California would spend printing out drivers licenses for all these illegal fishies!
"Save the dead, fossilized plants!"

Whiny losers.
Sounds like porn for Salon subscribers.

Just up the road aways. Bye-bye.
"In most cases, a few years of working a decent job and getting laid semi-regularly beats the anarchy right out of young men..."
Yeah, but what are we going to do with all these Slashdotters?
You forgot the obligatory "Wake up America!"

But what about the kaboom? There was supposed to be a moon-shattering kaboom!

You are half-right, sir.

You mean, there's an option to manually cause a BSOD? And I've been mistakenly pressing that when I meant to do File/Save? Silly monkey!
Or "Print's Robin Williams" ... bravely ran away, away...
Yeah, or my pacemak
